Sean Taylor is gone, but for Washington Redskins fans, he never left

[Schneed10]

His loss really affected me. I grew to love him because of the on-field play, obviously. But that interest causes you to read about him as a person, and you read about how much of a devoted family man he had become, and naturally the attachment grows.

Every year when this anniversary comes up it's a reminder to me, to appreciate each player as an individual. Yeah they get paid big money for it, but I'm emotionally attached to this team (irrationally so) and I have them all to thank for the ups and downs I get to experience on autumn Sundays.

Wish I could have gotten to see Sean Taylor for more of them and read more about how his life developed. Thanks to the Redskins for doing what you do.

Except Bruce Allen. F that guy.
